Three girls with yin and yang

Dandenong North, Australia

Artist's Description

This is a large painting done on a peice of raw canvas/unprimedOne day many many years ago my son simon had some friends around here three girls walked into the kitchen..and I just stopped and stared at them in shock..!! what a sight before my eyes..each of them had painted their faces 1/2 black and 1/2 white..it looked so amazing and the image called out to be painted..it was one of those moments that just stuck in my mind as something of a wow moment..margaret my sister loved this painting so she has it in her lovely house in ballarat now ..and It looks so good there. In the corner of the painting I also did a little black and white version of them so you could discern more clearly the yin yang principle that they had on their faces that day.

Thanks. and.yes,,it was one of those strange and funny moments..like a message from the gods in some ways.. and of some kind..though I never did get or understand the message LOL.at least I painted it.. it had a lot of impact ..to see them standing there like that..I turned around and got quite a shock to see the 3 girls like that ! I guess the gods were trying to Inspire me..if nothing else..hhha!!!

Hi.. and awww~~ no janis..I used to have a list of sorts..I wanted to see how many paintings went to family and friends..there was a lot.. so many that went to new homes..but I can’t find that list now.. however.. nearly all of my paintings have dates and are signed so that’s Okthere are some that I forgot to sign ..which is Ok too I guess..I must have forgotton to sign just a few of them. I should try to archive them but it’s all too much work for me..I’ll leave that to my sisters I think ..maybe I can bribe one of them to do that ..with a new painting ..hha!! it would be a lot of work though.and a few of them have been lost or we don’t know what happened to them..which is a bit sad I think…and I wonder if they;ll ever show up again ..one day- somehow -synchronicity might bring the lost ones around again..

you like this one..well thanks so much ..it’s a very raw one on unprimed canvas..and was a bit hard to paint that way ..but the end result was pretty good..those yin-yang girls in my kitchen that day looked so surreal.

Thankyou , that’s very kind of you ..I’m glad you like this one..it was done on some very thick knotty canvas that was unprimed, so it was hard to paint on..that’s why it doesn’t have a lot of colour.. the paint kept seeping or absorbing into the canvas everytime I painted ..still the end result was a bit different and interesting.much appreciated!xxooo
